Prospect Update
Multiple Kelowna Rockets prospects regular seasons wrapped up this past weekend with the BC Major Midget League rounding out their schedule. Trevor Wong, Steel Quiring and Jackson Desouza are now gearing up for postseason runs with their clubs.
Trevor Wong lead the way in scoring amongst the trio of Rockets prospects. The centreman for the Greater Vancouver Canadians had 42 points (12G, 30A) in 34 games played. Wong was the Rockets first-round selection (18th overall) at the WHL Bantam Draft last May. The centre has suited up in four WHL games this season, picking up an electrifying game-tying goal against the Kamloops Blazers earlier this season. The Canadians will open their playoffs against the Cariboo Cougars.
